***To compare the Magisterium against the Scripture and say one is not "above" another, would be like comparing a poetry teacher to poetry, saying, "Mr McDougall is not above sonnets." Which of course makes little sense. Nevertheless it seems to mean something to protestants ***

God is over His creation. This is not nonsensical. That Mr McDougal; is over his sonnets is not nonsense, since he is the originator.

***The Magisterium is not above the Word of God***

Makes sense to me.
